Job 3:1-5 – How would you summarize? “I wish I was dead.” That’s not sinful!

Burden of Job’s speeches: I really am upright, I really am suffering!
There is such a thing as innocent suffering.
Bad things really do happen to good people just as good things happen to bad people.

Job 4:7-9 How would you summarize? “What goes around comes around!”

We all fall into this fleshly way of thinking. We like to imagine we’re safe if we do good. In fact most of our goodness is simply suffering-insurance. That’s why innocent suffering offends us so much.

Job 8:1-6 Summarize?

Job 11:13. Summarize?

Job 12:1! Sarcasm is great! 16:1-3; 26:1-4

Job 16:16-21 In the midst of suffering we need to know our Witness; Advocate; Intercessor; Friend!

Job 19:17-27: Redeemer; Earth; Flesh; See.

Job 38:1-11,19-21: The LORD shows up! Not with a cup of tea and a shoulder to cry on!

Whirlwind! He humbles Job, makes him see: We can’t weigh it up. We can’t play God:

Really a great stuff….Beautifully explains all the things.I specially like the “Job 42:1-6: Job never gets an answer to his why questions” It is really true that we are not in position to suffering calculus sometimes somethings must be leave to that Higher Power,our lovely God..I want to say thank you so much from my heart for sharing this beautiful post..
